Day three of the NFL draft was a tough start for the Dallas Cowboys. One of their reported favorites at running back, Bhayshul Tuten, went off the board to the Jacksonville Jaguars with the second pick in the fourth round.
From there on, it was a run at the running back position with six getting selected across 36 picks. Entering the fifth round, just one runner was drafted in front of Dallas before they were on the clock. If they wanted to get their guy, now was the time. The Cowboys were ecstatic to get “their boy blue,” Texas running back Jaydon Blue at pick 149.
